Wine Description
Intertwining aromas and flavours of rhubarb, sour cherries, and smokey herbal spice excite the senses and deliver surprise. Harvested from a small block in Frankland River, the Nautica Cabernet is unfined and a true expression typical of the elegant approachable tannin of this cool climate region. The grapes were harvested and brought to the winery, chilled and destemmed and crushed into one tonne open fermenters and hand plunges several times daily for 14 days of fermentation. The wine was pressed and fractioned off into 40% new French Oak and a combination of older French Oak for 14 months. The best barrels were combined to create this small release of Nautica Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was un-fined and lightly filtered to ensure a true expression of the Cabernet in the region.
